Happy Thanksgiving!

"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
--1 Thessalonians 5:18

Come, ye thankful people, come.


Raise the song of harvest home.


All is safely gathered in... 


Ere the winter storms begin.


God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied.


Come to God's own temple, come.


 Raise the song of harvest home.

Go With God, Shirley and Arlene!

On Sunday, November 2, we had a Commissioning Service for Shirley and Arlene. They are leaving this week for a Mission Trip to Haiti. They are seasoned travelers, and have participated in many forms of service, but this trip will present new challenges for them. Even so, when they heard the call, they responded, "Here am I; send me." (Isaiah 6:8)

As the commissioning service pointed out, though they will be away from us for the time of their service, "in reality this is not a separation, but an extension of our congregation."

Have a wonderful experience, Shirley and Arlene. Our thoughts and prayers go with you.
